Children's book author Matt Goldman who was scheduled to join us for the 2009 Little Falls Arts and Crafts Fair Book Signing was unable to attend becuase he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work as a producer on the Disney Channel's The Wizards of Waverly Place and the award ceremony for his category was during the afternoon on Saturday September 12th. We've now learned that he WON!

Although Matt Goldman was not able to be with us as scheduled, he did stop by an supply us with handful of signed copies of Dingeltrot and also some of the biggest promotional bookmarks on the planet! Available with purchase while supplies last.


William Meissner's SPIRITS IN THE GRASS won the Midwest Book Award last spring (for the fiction novel category)--a 12 state award sponsored by the Midwest Independent Publishers Assn. Meissner was one of our visiting authors for the 2008 Arts and Crafts Fair Book signing.

Thomas Maltman who visited Bookin' It this past holiday season was just awarded the ALA Alex Award 2008 for his book The Night Birds. The American Library Association’s (ALA) Alex Awards are given to ten adult books with specific teen appeal. The Night Birds is now available in trade paperback.

The Night Birds by Thomas Maltman was among St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Best Books of 2007; Rocky Mountain News lists Maltman as the Best First Time Novelist of 2007.

“Maltman weaves this gripping story around real events that resulted in the mass execution of 38 Dakota Indians in 1862.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“A remarkably poignant narrative in time, an elegant portrayal of a period little known in American history.”—Rocky Mountain News

Jess Lourey who signed her Murder-By-Month Mystery series books at Bookin' It during the 2007 Little Falls Arts and Crafts Fair reported in to us on her most recent award. Lourey's Knee High by the Fourth of July was nominated for a Lefty for Best Humorous Mystery of 2007.
